I erred in identifying this animal as a Black Bear. It is, in fact, an Alaska Brown [or Grizzly] Bear.

Photographer's Note: This male Black Bear (Ursus americanus) was photographed at the base of a mountain in Port Valdez, Alaska. It had recently emerged from its winter den and is feeding on salty inter-tidal grasses. A sow [female] Black Bear and newborn cub have been spotted in the same area. Black bears are the smallest of the North American bears. Adult bears stand about 29 inches (.73 m) at the shoulders and measure about 60 inches (1.5 m) from nose to tail. The tail is about two inches long. Males are larger than females. An average adult male in spring weighs about 180-200 pounds (81.8 to 90.9 kg). They are considerably lighter when they emerge from winter dormancy and may be 20 percent heavier in the fall when they are fat.
